Nioh 2 Closed Alpha Teaser

Pull my devil trigger?

A new teaser trailer is out today for Nioh 2. This trailer gives you a little glimpse of the upcoming closed alpha for the game. Invites for the alpha have already gone out to some PlayStation 4 owners. According to Team Ninja, there are no plans to expand the alpha beyond those who are already invited.

Like its predecessor, Nioh 2 looks to bring even more action and exploration to fans that liked the original. It seems as though there will once again be a wide variety of enemies to face, moves to master, and even something that looks a bit like...

Kingdom Hearts 3 Ships 5 Million Units Already

It seems as though Kingdom Hearts fans are super thirsty because Square Enix has already shipped 5 million copies of Kingdom Hearts 3. While this doesn't necessarily mean that the game has sold 5 million units, it's still a very good indicator that the game is selling like hot cakes. Kingdom Hearts 3 was just released on January 29, 2019.

Square Enix did confirm that the 5 million figure does include both digital and physical units. They also go on to confirm that Kingdom Hearts 3 is the fastest selling game in the history of the franchise. This game is also the first one...

Kingdom Hearts 3 is Now Available

The words "Kingdom Hearts 3 is now available" are ones that many fans have been waiting about 13 years to read. That day has finally come thanks to Square Enix and Disney. This marks the release of the latest and, perhaps, last release in the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

I'm not quite sure how well newcomers to the franchise will actually handle this game. The long-running story throughout the games is ... uh... confusing to put it mildly. Maybe "convoluted" is a bit better a word? However, the game has gotten some fairly high praise, currently...

Final Review: We Happy Few

A fleeting Joy.
The other week, I put up a review in progress for We Happy Few. For the sake of simplicity, I left that intact below this "final" review section up top here.
So, how did We Happy Few fare given the extra time I spent with it? Not well. Not well at all.
As the hours continued on, the love affair I had with the game started to chip away. At first it was just a minor annoyance when I would run into issues like poor A.I., but it became harder and harder to ignore. There are only so many times where you could just write off seeing an NPC become stuck on world geometry and walk in place. There are only so many times where it stops being surprising to see NPCs appear and disappear on the exact second of sunrise and sunset. I lost track of how many NPCs I have seen "sitting" in the air, a ways away from any actual chair. Sadly, these were all experiences encountered after a massive patch for the game that came out shortly after release.
